Description
- Catalog description
- Form novelty of the BR 101 with a straight frame. The shunting locomotive was available in large numbers at the DR and factory railroads. The model has numerous separately applied parts. The zinc die-cast frame gives the model sufficient tractive power. Logic of the light functions: only in conjunction with the PIKO locomotive sound decoder #56451 !!! F0 switches front white light (3 lamps on) and rear red light (2 lamps) [pictures above]. F7 switches the shunting lighting, 3 white lamps on each side are switched on [center pictures].
